Despite all the recent Kevin Durant and Dwight Howard talks this past week, everyone in Boston had forgotten about two of the C's own free agents until Wednesday.

According to sources, the Celtics announced it will extend qualifying offers to Jared Sullinger and Tyler Zeller, making them restricted free agents [instead of unrestricted] ahead of Thursday's NBA deadline. The team will have the right to match any offer sheet the two big men sign.

Mark Stein is reporting that the Celtics have secured a meeting with Dwight Howard and plan on trying to lure him to Boston.

WHAAAAT????

After the NBA Draft debacle [see here] and now this Dwight Howard talk, I am starting to seriously concern myself with thoughts that Danny Ainge may have sold his soul in that Kevin Garnett/Paul Pierce deal and now is cursed. Someone call the Mormon Witch Doctor and send him over to the TD Garden ASAP. July 1st is only two days away.

With the 2016 NBA Draft now over, the Celtics start an interesting summer of speculation. Boston has been rumored with numerous trades and free agents but has come up rather short in the past when it comes to the bidding block. C's fans will have their collective hearts set on the arrival of former NBA MVP Kevin Durant, but here are a few additional options Danny Ainge and the Celtics may want to consider during their summer shopping

For the second consecutive year Boston Celtics fans were taken on a roller coaster of emotions leading up to draft day only to be dumped on their collective backsides. The C's held eight picks in the 2016 NBA Draft and ended up making one deal to dump two of the picks to a (semi) rebuilding Memphis Grizzlies team. In short, the Celtics laid an egg...again.

The Celtics were stocked with a multitude of draft picks that would make any NBA GM jealous. This was the night where the rebuild would end! The Celtics were going to cash in on there treasure trove of assets for the elusive NBA All-star that we've all been waiting for.

After the Celtics chose Jaylen Brown at No. 3, co-owner Wyc Grousbeck heard the boos from Celtics fans at TD Garden's draft party rain through the hall and into the locker room -- where the team's brass were seated.

The overwhelming feeling that the Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce trade is going to go down in history as a failure is starting to take over my brain.

If Danny Ainge can't package Brooklyn's 3rd Overall pick in tonight's NBA Draft to acquire an All-Star, the return for the best two players in recent Celtics history will be halfway gone. If Ainge does keep the pick, all the Celtics will have to show for the first half of their major haul from Brooklyn is James Young, and the third best player in a two player draft.

After making Celtics pre-draft workout history in Waltham this week -- it's safe to say that Jamal Murray's confidence is through the roof.

It's been interesting to watch Paul Pierce during the NBA Finals as an analyst on ABC/ESPN. But could the former Celtics captain be preparing for life after he hangs it up? According to 'The Truth' that could be sooner rather than later.

Part of this is Kevin Love's own fault; he really wanted to sit with the cool kids at lunch and approved the trade to join up with James, Kyrie Irving, and the rest of the then rejuvenated Cavaliers. He had the chance to get out after a rocky first year in Cleveland. He did not, instead Love drank the Kool-Aid again and signed a max deal.
